not only heinx thorouxhly practical, hut nece^ary.
Of some 1,200 hi«h schools, about half have safety
courses. All should have them. And of this number only
a relatively few have behind the wheel safety courses.
As the twijj is bent,-the tree is inclined. The time :
to get a thorough grounding in the principles of driving'., ... . ....... , . . ,

will stick by him, instead of the hit.and miss variety of
"pick-up” instruction so general, in which youngsters
approaching the driver license age'requirement too often
have to try to learn by the system, of trial and error.
Error means accident, and ari accident can mean a death
or serious injury.
" .Under the proposed rules, a written examination and
driving test would <be provided,- The entering students.
• must have completed, or be taking an approved course )
in driver education and driver training during the c.ur-
Tent year, and must never have'been.involved, as a driver,'
